Explanation:

- "Coming of Age in Samoa" (1928), "Growing Up in New Guinea" (1930), and "Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies" (1935) are all pioneering works in the field of anthropology.

- These books were written by Margaret Mead, a renowned American cultural anthropologist.

- Mead's work focused on understanding the cultural and social aspects of different societies, especially in the South Pacific.

- Option 1: M. Mead is the correct answer.

- Option 2: Alfred Weber was a sociologist and economist, but not connected to these books.

- Option 3: Bierstead, possibly a reference to Robert Bierstedt, was a sociologist unrelated to Mead's work.

- Option 4: Graebner references Fritz Graebner, an anthropologist, but not related to these publications.
